[Jacob-list] I agree with Sue's daughter

[Gail]

I have to agree with Sue's daughter, in reference to how some of the new comers are treated. I too don't post because of the nasty comments I received, when I first joined this group. My Jacobs are not registered and someone made sure I understood that I wasn't in their league, because of that fact. At the time we had a young, but very handsome 4 horned ram. He was criticized for not having enormous horns. He was a baby and still growing! Most of all, though, was the attitude about my unregistered stock. There aren't many people in our area that raise Jacobs and I don't know of any that are registered. Even though some of us don't raise registered stock, it doesn't mean that we aren't doing everything we can to preserve the best qualities of the breed. I've checked out most of your sites and my lambs look just as good as your's. They just don't have the long fancy names attached!

This is an amazing breed! They lamb easy & are great Moms, relatively disease free, more compact & easy to handle and beautiful to look at. What a package! It's no wonder so many of us want to raise these sheep- - -  registered or not. Most of us signed up for this group to learn, find answers to our questions and maybe even find some sheep friends- - - mentors, if you will. 

On a whole, I enjoy reading the posts and learn lots from all of you. Just please don't belittle us because our flocks aren't registered. They are just as important to us, as your's are to you.
